SYNTHESIA PSYCHOLOGY FULL

I could sit here and tell you that whenever I look at the letter D it appears blue and how are you going to find out if IвЂ™m telling the truth? Maybe IвЂ™m just saying that. This is pretty interesting, the question we might have is вЂњhow do we go about testing this? How do we know that the person is really experiencing this vs. So As are always purple or Ps are always green. People will see certain letters as being particular colors.

ItвЂ™s also possible to have synesthesia for certain shapes appearing colored. So theyвЂ™ll describe a certain personвЂ™s name will automatically cause a certain taste in their mouth. ItвЂ™s also possible to have particular sounds stimulate tastes in some people. Now, theyвЂ™re not hallucinating, they know that theyвЂ™re not actually seeing the color, but they have a vivid experience of color associated with each different pitch. For instance if they hear an A they see red. This is a situation where somebody hears a particular pitch and they see a particular color. So one way this could happen is if you have pitch-color synesthesia. ItвЂ™s a situation where one sense automatically, involuntarily evokes another sense. Synesthesia is a more dramatic mingling of the senses. This is especially true for people with synesthesia. All of our senses kind of mingle together. So we have this idea that our senses are mixed together, thereвЂ™s not clear separation between vision and hearing and touch. In the last video I talked about this idea that our sense of taste is influenced by other senses so the things that you smell will influence your experience of taste and the things that you see can influence taste and even things that you hear.
